After the last couple of games, thought it was worth mentioning the great efforts of Clint Bizzell. He has been outstanding these last couple of weeks.

Anyone else think he's a welcome return to the team down back? Felt sorry for him taking a shot at goal today....although he went down back and did a superb job.

Well done Bizz. ;)

    is there a spot for him down back though, when rivers, whelan and bartram are all in the team, considering that wheatley and bell have seemed to cement a spot, along with carroll and holland (for the rocca's and tredders of this world)?

    plaed well today, he picks the ball up lceanly in contested situations to drive it forwad

    Bizzell played a great game today.

    Along with Holland he was the best defender.

    Not only were his disposal, judgment and on-field directions good he did well on on two different sized / style of players in Medhurst and Cloke when on them.

    I don't think Holland will play much (as you said, he's there for particular match-ups).

    I'd also prefer Wheatley play along the wing, so there's not necessarily direct competition there if Wheatley gets to play a more attacking role.

    I think there's probably a spot for him providing he plays good footy.

    How much better did we look with Wheatley taking the kick-ins today instead of Trav? It was like I was watching a different team today the way we brought it in after behinds.

    It helped that Collingwood pretty much let us run our dual-huddle plan without sending some outriders to either side of the first huddle. It was far too easy for one of our players to break from the huddle and once they did they just kept going and the ball was put out in front of them - no hope for their opponent.

    Watching other games this year oppositions teams tend to sit guys outside the huddle to prevent those early breaks, but Collingwood didn't do this.

    His kicking in is fantastic, I don't know how some of you were bagging him

    What made you feel sorry for him?

    Bizz was terrific yesterdat, really enjoyed his efforts the last couple of weeks. I flinched for him when that maggot Holland nearly killed him at CHB considering his previous injuries.

    Slightly off topic but I think our back 6 are flying at the minute. Wheats has been a welcome return with his kicking be a real bonus but I think his preparedness to run and take the game on has been fantastic. He got caught once in the middle of the ground yesterday but he is playing with confidence at the moment and taking the game on at every oppurtunity as a player with pace and a thumping boot should do.

    On top of that Daniel Bell has definitely taken the next step. I think I actually heard the penny drop when he was checking Scott Welsh last week and he confirmed that belief for me yesterday getting the better of Collingwoods best player.

    bizz did well today. i thought a couple of his kicks didnt hit targets but im not complaining, however im still unsure if there is a spot for him and rivers in the same team. if they do play in the same team i think frawley will have to miss out and personally id rather see frawley getting a go.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
